Facebook: The posts will appear on Facebook news feeds in the first hours after a child has gone missing, and will be available to users in the designated search area determined by local law enforcement officials, according to Metro News. We know that when a child is abducted, the most valuable thing we can do is get information out to the public as fast as possible, said Jordan Banks, global head of vertical strategy and managing director at Facebook Canada, in a statement and Facebook has unveiled an Amber Alert service that will allow users in provinces across Canada to share information and help locate children who have gone missing in their areas. The alerts will include a photograph and description of the missing child and other information that is available, for instance a picture of a suspect. They will be shareable across the platform.
